Mavronoros
An abandoned traditional settlement. An object of study and research for stone constructions. From its small plateau, on the eastern side of the verdant Kassidiaris, the old Mavronoros overlooks the mountains of Pindos and Parakalamos, Chrissorahi, Vella and the renowned hill of Sossinou. The healthy vine farmers and capable stone craftsmen rebuilt their village in Aghios Nikolaos, where it is currently located.
